And then I saw it. The bright center of creation. A burning pulsation that shed no heat. I leaned into it’s being and felt my life breathing in the essence, pulling away from me. My soul’s attraction to this bud left my plagued mind dizzy and confused.
I whispered “Please.”
A small voice answered “Life is beautiful but it hurts to become.”
Death overcame me.

Herpetosiphon aurantiacus is a filament-like bacterium that can rapidly glide across surfaces. H. aurantiacus are facultative predators, hunting other bacteria by secreting digestive enzymes when nutrients become scarce. Interestingly, H. aurantiacus hunts in a “wolf pack” strategy: the bacteria will not hunt unless a certain number of H. aurantiacus is present. When this number is reached, the bacteria will swarm and flood their prey with a high concentration of enzymes.
